I completely agree!  It is unbelievable that Ruckus hasn't fixed this blatant performance issue on their flagship AP's.  I read in one of the replies that the engineers at Ruckus have a hard time replicating the issue.  It is as simple as having a single Unleashed AP and a single client.  You'll see right away that you're not getting the internet speed anywhere close to what it should be.  In my case, it's between 25% and 50% of the actual internet speed even having a single client.  Pretty pathetic...  Any $19 AP will surpass my R720 anytime anywhere.

I have a gigabit connection and using an r610 with 200.8, doing a speed test with my laptop usually nets me around 400mbps download using fast.com. I know the wifi to my phone isnt as good but still around 150-200, but the phones wifi isnt as good.

I have a 220mb connection but only see about a 60mb connection speed from either the r710 or the r720. I see no difference between the AP’s, they are equally slow.

I am disappointed that the move to 200.8.10.3.243 for my 6 R510's will obsolete my R500's rendering them useless.  It would have been nice if the R500's could continue to unleash into my network, but maybe without the features in 200.8.x.  

Is Ruckus planning on allowing one to upgrade the Wave 2 devices to 200.8.x without completely losing the ability to unleash the older Wave 1 devices into the network?

Or - is there an upgrade path that allows for upgrading R500's to R320/R510?

Thanks!
